There were left hand 109's ?
I didn't think the body was symmetrical, so it would have to be a special left hand body ??

Yes they were a set of 109's that were mirror images ... The one had the hose on the right side and the other had the hose on the left... I used them for side mount diving....

Sure, but just wear blue Nitrile disposable gloves and use cotton swab sticks when applying.
So far so good, certainly better than bare brass but haven't had a chance for long term tests in saltwater yet.

I sandblasted the worse of the two regs. tonight. After seeing the brass I’m thinking about polishing it.
I sort of like the looks of that. I'll be interested to see the progression.

As it is, I too like it but with my OCD I'd need to do the same to the first stage. Am too interested how this turns out. Good luck, take one for the team.
Incralac seems to be the most robust sealant for copper based alloys:
Special Lacquer for Copper, Brass and Bronze Protection Developed by INCRA (International Copper Research Association) expressly for copper-bearing alloys. Most clear coating failures on bronze, brass and copper are due to underfilm staining and tarnishing. INCRALAC contains benzotriazole as a chelating agent to prevent this action. Affords superior resistance to ultraviolet light; excellent resistance to salt air environments. Can be expected to provide at least 5 years protection (normal exterior with 1 ml thick coat). Remove with conventional paint strippers. Air dries to touch and recoat in 30 minutes; complete cure in 48 hours. 13% solids. Incralac covers an approximate surface area of 150 sq. ft/gal. Can be thinned or removed with toluene.
